The Finish Line is in sight. Considering how standard the spine modules are, I would think a series of vinyl friskets would work for them. I know, I know-- I DO like to suggest unrealistic amounts of work for others. Much easier on me that way. But my last observation is a bigger pill-- I think the overall is too dark. I realized that "this" was "it" when I saw you install the big windows. So... not any lighter, eh? Hmmm. Somewhere, some Detail Hunter revealed that the "white" color used as a "final" overcoat was called Blast White. Used by the RAF to deflect harmful IR pulses from explosions. So I don't mean white-white-- I do mean lightish gray. Well, lighter than your light gray! (Yes, I know, Lou, I can just take that advice and apply it lovingly to my own Discovery... but that's the curse of the Pioneer, Lou! You're also first to get the back-talk!) It is hard to not "overwork" the paint-- that ship is mind-bogglingly complex. You are doing a helluva job, Lou.
I'm not opposed to misting some more white over the whole ship. It's easier to do that than to uniformly darken everything if it was too light. I just don't want to make it all white. That's boring and makes the kit look like a toy.
Nice collection. Some of us might really want to see your stuff. Wow Servo! Is your older Discovery a scratch built one or this kit? You do paint well. This video is entertaining & most interesting. In 2010, it was yellowish with sulfur, I believe? I am buying one because of this video. Thanks.
Bob, I tried that on one of the module clusters and didn't really like how it looked and couldn't imagine doing that to the rest of them. plus now the spaces between the modules are downright unreachable.
Ken, Latest intel tells me that it may be a Starship modeller exclusive. I've checked and it hasn't shown up there yet. I'd keep a close eye on them, I fear that they will sell out the first run pretty darn quickly.
